Surely one of the most impressive release by the chilean master, "Chromosul" present a unique state of emptyness (in a "boudhist" meaning) used as a musical tool. I mean that this track is a meditative act more than a travel, it pushes the listener in that kind of introspective listening that is not about anxiety, but surely about joy, about a fresh air comming from deep inside. This is the kind of experience that you're suposed to expect from the work of great electro-acoustic minimalist like Bernhard Gunter, or a classical composer like Morton Feldman, but not from a dance music track.
The ability of Villalobos is really incredible, his willingness in melting almost uncompatible genres & emotions in one track (see the ending "proto-zouk" melody) is only the mark of a musical genius, apart from laws & classifications.
And i'm only talking of the a-side !

Perhaps I missed the boat on this one but I was unable to listen to it more than once, maybe twice at that. What's the big deal here?? Random bleeps and random bass that farts back and forth without much rhythmic focus.

If ever there was a release that DIDN'T need talking up this is it! Mr Villalobos straps himself in and delivers a huge funky strike in the form of 'Chromosoul'. This thing struts, grooves and jacks like the insane minimal beast that it is- nothing more, nothing less. Then on 'Fadutron' Ricardo hits familiar territory with a tuff jack track that drops like Luciano on steroids. It's brilliant
